Description

Sam Stein and Catherine Rampell give their takes on why Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick faces zero consequences for lying about his contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The files reveal family trips, business deals, and charitable donations between Lutnick and Epstein, contradicting his claims that he cut off contact with him in 2005. They break down how other governments, including the UK, Slovakia, and Norway have forced resignations or investigations over Epstein ties, and why the Trump administration is shrugging off any accountability for Lutnick's lies.

Lutnick lived next door to Epstein, across the street from Bill Cosby and down the street from Woody Allen. What a neighborhood!

People used to have shame when they were caught lying. This is disgusting.

Howard Lutnick is absolute SCUM. As the head of Cantor Fitzgerald he screwed the family of his dead employees (from the World Trade Towers) not only out of insurance settlement money but also allegedly out of wages that they had earned before they died. Plus, he’s also (allegedly) a rather infamous crypto scammer as well. I say allegedly, but it’s actually documented in multiple lawsuits. He is one of the most horrible villains in an administration of absolute villains. A truly awful person. His association with Epstein is the least surprising thing I’ve heard about him.

The Right has made a religion of lying. Trump is their High Priest of lies.

What Massey and others don't seem to realize is that people like Lutnick have no moral center, and therefore feel no shame.

UK politics still has some remnants of universal human decency. That's the difference.
